Applicationflled February 4, 1916. Serial No. 76,156.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it'knoWn that 1, MAX I. GREENBERG, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Great Neck, in the county of Nassua and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Protective Lining for. Garments, of which the following is a full,

. clear, and exact description.

Among the principal objects which the present invention has in view are: to prevent the transmission of cutaneous'diseases; to avoid soiling of garments prior to the disposal of the same; to provide a vehicle for a germicide for preventing transmission disclosed is constructed-and arranged in accordance with the present invention.

Description.

As indicated in the above statement of objectsof the invention, the lining herein furnished to protect the inside is beingexof a garment while the same During this h-ibited for sale in a store.

period several prospective purchasers may desire to try on the garment. One of these purchasers may have a cutaneous disease. The virus of this disease coming 1n contact with the gown infects the body of a person trying if the wearer befull-blooded and warm, perspirationfrom the body is liable to be more or, less profuse, and the gown coming in contact with the moistened surface absorbs the moisture thereof. This is disagreeable and in this respect acts injuriously to the gown.

A further objection to readysmade. or

store garments, is the feeling which a cue-- tomer has that the garment has been on the body of another person.

With these ob ects in view, the slip 7 is employed. The slip 7 is preferably made from a relatively inexpensive the bodyof the wearer, andis provided with sleeves 8 of a length to cover the upper poron the garment subsequent thereto.

fabric to fit tion of the arm and to extend well below the arm pit, to safeguard the garment in which the slip is placed against the transmission thereto of the perspiration of the body, and particularly that which is emitted from this region of-the body. The slip is provided also with a collar 9, which rolls over the collar of thegarment and protects'the garment from contact With the neck of the person and the hair of the head.

The slip is furnished with a series of tying members or ribbon ends 10, by which the slip may be drawn to the body of the person before closing the garment. The slip is held on the garment by fasteners, such as the metal clips 11, or by other devices, such as the basting tacks 12. These fasteners are of a character to be quickly and readily removed, it belng the purpose to remove and destroy the slip 7 whenever the garment is sold.-

With the object in view to prevent the unlicensed use of a garment, the collar 9 is made extra large and conspicuous, being brought over the collar of the garment and secured thereto by the clip 11. With the v same object in view, the clip 11 has attached thereto an indicative means for showing the lining as retained by its original fastenings, to wit,'a seal tag 13, which cannot be removed until the garment has been accepted by .a purchaser. 1

In order thatthe garment may be tried on often without indications of previous use,

the slip is treated with any suitable chemical or compound, which operates as a deodorant or germicide. The compound preferred by 'me is: a solution containing one percent. of

benzoate of sodium. TlllS compound has also-the property of destroying any disease germswhich may be transferred to the slip by contact with the body of the person trying on the garment. The slip is therefore not only sanitary but all evidences of prior use are removed therefrom, so that a erson later trying on the garment is not on y safe from transmission of disease thereby, but is unofiended by evidences of prior use.

Claims.

l. A protective throw-away lining embodying normally exposed. indicative means for temporary attachment on the inside of a garment.

2'. A lining as characterized embodying normally exposed means for temporary atgarment.

3.- The combination of a garment; a medicated detachable auxiliary protective lining therefor, said lining being shaped in c0rrespondence with the bodice of said gannent; and means for attaching said lining to said 10 garment, saidmeans being destroyed in the operation of detaching the lining from said garment. g

In testimony whereof I have slgned my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
